Business Administration Scholarships

Application process

Students are considered for School of Business scholarships throughout the year. For incoming students, a completed application to Emporia State University (including receipt of the application fee) indicating interest in majoring in a School of Business program is sufficient for consideration for scholarships. The earlier an application is received the sooner it can be considered for scholarship awards. Students are encouraged to complete the application process as soon as possible. Students may be considered for more than one scholarship. There is no separate scholarship application process.

Scholarships awarded by professional organizations have separate application processes.
